Joblessness and hunger has increased in the country since the All Progressives Congress took over in 2015, the Peoples Democratic Party has alleged.

Caretaker Chairman of the party Ahmed Makarfi said this on Saturday in Abuja at the party’s National Convention.

According to him, hunger is ravaging the land, adding that the price of foodstuffs is now beyond the reach of average Nigerians.

Makarfi also alleged that the rate of crime, especially terrorism, ‘is creeping back with greater ferocity’.

“It is therefore with a high sense of responsibility that I seize this opportunity to draw the attention of the government, for, it seems unaware, to the fact that Nigerians are hungry as poverty is ravaging the land,” the PDP chair noted.

“The relative ease with which foodstuff and other essentials were available and affordable to the average Nigerian under PDP governments is now history.

“Insecurity in the North East which was thought to be receding is creeping back with greater ferocity, particularly against soft targets.

“Kidnap for ransom has taken a life of its own, so are the incessant farmers/herdsmen clashes and criminalities so camouflaged.”

Furthermore, Makarfi noted that “Joblessness has never been at such high level in the history of this country, while the education sector is all but comatose.

“It is common knowledge that no society progresses if it doesn’t secure the future of its future leaders. It is therefore necessary that a shot in the arm is applied on the education sector to ensure that we do not toy with the destiny of our children.”

Agreed

secondus

Pdp did better than APC
@ least fuel was 87 then

Bringbackpdp

Compare pdp States to APC states

I strongly agree with PDP on this... Association of Past Criminals APC has ruined Nigeria since they took over

That is a startling reality.APC is the worst phenomenal plague to ever hit Nigeria.The task to kick it out is a sacrifice every politically conscious Nigerian should take seriously.

APC is still better than PDP anytime. We know things are not quite rosy presently as promised by Buhari.

But we still believe in him and trust him. We can never forget how PDP looted the Treasury of this country massively for 16 years.

Yes we agree but the question is who is responsible

If we had a reserve like other sensible oil producers we won't be here today

You let a reserve that can't even last 3 months (who the hell does that ) after boom in oil

No infrastructure no development and no entrepreneurship brooding on import substitution or export oriented business

Now you come and say this rubbish

Don't come here and tell me imaginary investors took out their forex because of Buhari (all big companies we know never did anything different )


Soludo or Sanusi should better join politics and fix their father land

Or the young vibrate deputy md of Uba ( that guy is super human with economis ) we need people who can attack problems

PDP has no moral justification to Say this because the looting that was perpetrated under it's 16 years watch is the reason Nigeria is this mess. Nigeria would have collapsed if not for Buhari. pdp and it's cohorts can only try, but will never come back to rule this country.

APC is synonymous with Poverty, Insecurity, Melancholy, propaganda and the list goes on.

APC is evil

PDP did not save enough and put economy stabilizing structures in the good days while APC did not even plan for the bad days thinking everything will be as smooth as always,there resulting into some economic issues

Speak for yourself and stop using the word 'we'. Raise up your hand and swear that monunental looting is not happeoing under Buhari's hypocritical and nepotistic govt.

Arrant nonsense!!! Nigeria's reserve was less than $5b when PDP took over from the military in 1998 but the party did not embark on a voyage of blame game.
Buhari wasted the morey inherited on fruitless oil exploration in the north.

How much did the military 'save' for the country at its exit 1998? All these rethoric of PDP not saving enough in its 16-year rule is nothing but Buhari and APC propaganda.

Buhari and APC have caused more damage to Nigeria than PDP's 16 years of rulership. Death, poverty, nepotism, deceit, clandestine fraud have never been this pronounced in the history of this nation.

Lol reserve is not really calculated by how much you have but how long can that last

$5bn reserve can be good if your import bill is $200milion

A $200bn can be bad if your import bills are over $50bn a month

Jonathan left $28bn with an import bill of 5.5bn that's a a nearly death trap

We are luck oil price went up ooh

Nonsense again. Can you tell Nigerians the 'import bill' left behind with a reserve of less than $5 in 1998 by the military? Wiy do you guys like to bring follies into your arguements when taken to the cleaners? Hinging and excusing dismal performance on 'lack of savings' is an act of irresponsibility by Buhari's govt and its supporters.

And by then we had a worst recession that we had last year and earlier this year
